Rinsing the machine is important not only for hygienic reasons but also to maintain optimal machine performance. 

There are 3 different automatic rinsing cycles:

• Daily rinsing on start-up

Once per day, at machine start up, the machine automatically performs a rinsing cycle (200 ml) through the coffee and hot water outlets. 

• Rinsing after exiting a power saving mode 

Every time the machine exits a power saving mode, a rinsing cycle (40 ml) is automatically performed to clean the coffee and hot water fluid lines and reach the optimal temperature for the next beverage preparation. 

• Periodic rinsing 

If the machine does not enter a power saving mode for 130 minutes (i.e. the machine is kept in ready mode by people passing by), a rinsing cycle (70 ml) is automatically performed to keep the coffee fluid line at the optimal temperature. 

This periodic rinsing cycle can be disabled:

1. On the home screen, tap settings menu  > B setup menu.
2.  Select periodic rinsing.
3. Select no to disable the function.
